Project Overview

Despite a national shortage of over 130,000 care workers, Visiting Angels retains staff and recruits easily, thanks to fair pay, meaningful benefits, and a culture built on respect.

Visiting Angel's ambition is to be the UK care sector’s employer of choice.

To support that, they asked us to build a lightweight, mobile-first web app to boost staff wellbeing and support ongoing training.

The app had to run smoothly on company-issued LG K30 devices with limited data plans.

Our Solution

We designed and built a custom web app with three core features:

1. Training Hub

  • Admins can create modules linked to in-person training

  • Supports PDF and PowerPoint files

  • Modules only show to carers who’ve completed the relevant training

2. Wellness Feed and Mood Check-In

  • Carers log in daily and select:

    • A mood status: Green, Amber, or Red

    • An emoji to reflect how they feel

  • Feed shows updates from all carers (name and branch)

  • Users can send virtual hugs (no comments, no venting)

  • Admin dashboard flags staff at risk using thresholds like:

    • 3 red check-ins in a row

    • 3 amber/red check-ins within 7 days

3. Mini Games Zone

  • Brain games like Sudoku, memory match, and crosswords

  • Lightweight, ad-free, and mobile-optimised

  • Designed for low data usage
